We have had a pretty heady and introspective week over here on Meandering Design. Reminiscing about food while creating new memories; talking about finding ones path; and facing our creative fears. While it may seem like we have not been doing much crafting- there has been a lot going on behind the scenes. I've finished up some scarves and skirts, but I'm waiting for a sunny day to take some photos. It's been quite grey here lately, but what else would I expect from the weather in Chicago in February. Sheska is on a tear making some amazing creations. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. I've been doing last year's taxes. We have also been working on something new and exciting for Meandering Design, which we will be unveiling next week. All in all a wonderful week. I can't wait to see what next week brings.

Today's inspiration is a little bit different and in keeping with my introspective mood. While I love all of the wonderful things I find online and I collect them a bit like a magpie I walked away from the computer and opened a book. Specifically, my Norton Anthology of Literature by Women from my undergraduate days. It was like meeting up with an old friend for coffee.

I have a fondness for May Sarton and Virginia Woolf and so today I bring you the poem Letter from Chicago, For Virginia Woolf by May Sarton.
